What about Stevia? My diabetic wife uses it rather than Splenda, Aspartame, and Saccharin. She can only find it in a health foods store because it's sold as an herbal supplement rather than as a food item (sweetener). We've also grown Stevia. It's suppose to be 10x sweeter than sugar. From what we've read, the big 3 artificial sweetener manufacturers have successfully lobbied to keep Stevia from being listed as a food (out of fear of losing market share), but I've not done definitive research to prove that.

Stevia has a flavor, which is fine with me in tea or something but in coffee...ick!
I suppose I should learn to drink my coffee black/no sugar, like a man....
